Naw, I kinda liked it too... They just were lacking action (except for the end of the Boat, the worst level).AceDiamond said:

Your in an alternate universe where the government watches everything you do and cracks down on anything slightly illegal with an iron fist, what were you expecting, a traffic cop or two?LorChan said:
Anyway, i hope they make a sequel. That game was damn fun.
Sadly, as they improve in quality, their profits are dropping like a stone. Whereas the more clones Activison pump out, the more feet get added to the Activison money pit.Lost In The Void said:

I played the demo, and I really liked the premise and execution. I didn't buy the whole game though because I heard it was incredibly short and linear, plus the gunplay sucked and supposedly it drew a lot of focus on it. I think if they where able to make an open world environment that worked well with the engine it would be truly awesome.
I'm quite happy that they want to take the game in a different direction. The gunplay was annoying(to say the least). While I would like more running around on rooftops and less fighting, I found that the melee combat was fun- running and kicking police officers off buildings pleased my inner supervillain. However, trying to execute one move and then making another one because you were one degree off got frustrating. It definitely needs to be built upon. However, the thing that bugged me the most was mucking around in elevators. The whole concept of using an elevator defeats the 'running' aspect of the game and made transitions between places/levels somewhat jarring(game play wise). Mirror's Edge is a gem that simply needs polishing.
My head would explode if they offered an SDK... I would spend DAYS making levels. I hope they release one...

Because EA thought it would be a great idea if they made a level where it would be impossible to proceed until you defeated a team of SWAT agents. EA thought it would be even better if they made the other agents gang up on you if you tried to single one of them out, thus rendering melee attacks useless and in turn forcing you to pick up a gun shoot at the SWAT forces until they died. THAT'S WHY.Kojiro ftt said:
If nothing else, I'd like to see decent cutscenes--the game itself was an interesting experiment, but the crappy cutscenes kept me from giving it a serious chance.
I only want 3 things that I would think this is the best game in a long time.
1. Level editor or real multiplayer (so it has replay value)
2. Better story (and hope they stick the same art style as it was beautiful)
3. And I kind of hope dice will implement sound program from frostbite to this game, as in frostbite engine the sound is amazing and it would fit this game perfect
But even if they implement only replay value I am happy as I really liked the first one as it was the first god game since prince of persia sands of time (I didn't played assassins cred 1 so I can't say if it is better or worse).

I know about leaderboard but it isn't that fun for me. I think that there can be truly inovative multiplayer mods with this gameplay, they just need to explore.Noelveiga said:
I hope it doesn't become another Breakdown type thing. I still await an announcement for the second one.
I know you can't see beyond having to accomplish preset goals and all, but how about multiplayer where you set your own goals and try to achieve them co-operatively...Noelveiga said:

Enough said.
Edit: Also... Mirror's Edge Capture The Flag!
Excellent. I just hope they don't pander to the masses and turn it into an fps. One of my favourite games ^^

This is something that really upsets me, although I suppose I am somewhat culpable myself, as I never bothered buying Mirror's Edge until it hit $5 on Steam. However, my excuse is that I simply do not have the sort of disposable income I can blow on a five-hour game with no Modding support.Doug said:Sadly, as they improve in quality, their profits are dropping like a stone.

I can't be the only one who didn't have a problem with the art style of the cutscenes, can I?dbrose said:
I totally agree.SuperMse said:
Given the pure parkour insanity of one of those DLC levels they released, the potential for user-created content is huge. Imagine how long some of the chain moves you could string together be...wall run + jump over a fence + skill roll + vault off ledge +...etc.
And for once, multiplayer here would not feel forced at all...the combat system for ME was actually pretty well-polished if not hectic, at least for me and my button-mashing.
They could certainly add more than a couple moves (default punches and the flying/slide kicks were kind of limiting) and the slow-mo disarms could actually be integrated in pretty well.
I wouldn't say it was fantastic...it certainly wasn't as bad as some people's bitching made it out to be.Wakefield said:
I appreciated how fluid her acrobatic moves could look, but the rest of the time her movements seemed unreal and choppy.
I liked the clean and simple look of the colors, but at the same time it really didn't quite fit the aesthetic of the game...which was a sort of hyper-real mixed in with the surreal and harsh color scheme.
Then again, I can't think of a better way of conveying mood...Faith's conversation with Celeste always stuck with...kind of a soft and gentle touch in such a violent and repressive world, a weary resignation with still some hope to it.
